About this property
Au Bord de la Rivière, Charming gîte with private
Our charming 2 bedroom cottage is attached on the west side of our main house (the former Octroi de Saint Geniez d'Olt -the official tax building constructed in 1830). We have designed the interior of our cottage with great care in order to give our guests a feeling of both charm and comfort. Our furniture design in the gite is high quality designed modern pieces, juxtaposed with beautifully crafted antiques.. A hand-painted mural on the wall of the mezzanine bedroom gives a theatrical ambiance. A beautiful antique red velvet bed in the main bedroom. A cosy wood-burning fireplace in the living area, to add warmth in the winter. Just outside of RiverRun is a charming pedestrian walk along the riverbank that takes you to the village center in just a few minutes. It's an ideal all-season retreat.
Welcome to RiverRun!

Lovely riverside location in a picturesque little French village
Cottage was in a lovely location next to river with a sweet little garden. Hosts were very welcoming, providing lots of wood for the fire and even giving us fresh eggs from their hens. Also gave us good tips on things to do in the local area. Cottage was very clean and nicely presented. The second bedroom in the loft was quite small which made it a bit tight for two couples, but otherwise everything was great.
This property was perfect for our needs and very much as described on the website. The kitchen was well equipped, the lounge and bedroom comfortable and the outside garden space a lovely place to relax. The town is very pretty with lovely riverside walks and opportunities for fishing. There were plenty of cafes, small shops and an excellent supermarket nearby. Living next door, the host was very helpful. The area itself was great for walking, picnics, fishing and we found different places to go each day. Walking by the river and finding places for our dog to swim was a particular treat as was the quality of local restaurants and the friendliness of people we met.
The property is located in a beautiful village and backs onto a walkway along a river which can take you into the town. The property is furnished to a high standard and has everything you need. You do have to advise if you want linen and towels. It's great if you have a dog as there is a small enclosed garden. There are deck chairs for sitting outside. The village is beautiful and there are places to eat and drink which are walkable. There is also a vet in the village. Our host Sarah was great and flexible with check-in and checkout times. Highly recommend.
Our short stopover was very charming thanks to our host and her quiet place. It's close to the river, and a beautyful small town. The waterfronf walk was so nice, especially at the sunset. We recommend !
The property and the village were delightful. We stayed with our dog and there were beautiful walks close by. Sarah was very helpful and informative and we hope to return next year for a longer stay.
This was our 3rd visit and already planning our 4th. Think that says it all! Sarah and her husband are wonderful hosts. The property is situated right on the river with a lovely flat walk besides the river into the village, which is delightful and real France. The accommodation is quirky and very comfortable with all you need for a relaxing stay. Just great.
Très beau gîte, bien aménagé, pratique.Propriétaire très agréable et disponible.Elle nous a été de très bons conseils pour visiter la région qui est magnifique.Nous y reviendrons certainement.

Excellent séjour au gîte River Run
Gîte très agréable, aménagé avec beaucoup de goût et d’attention par Sara.
Accueil très chaleureux.
Très bon emplacement à quelques minutes à pieds du centre du village et avec un accès à la rivière qui fait aussi le charme du lieu.
Un grand merci à Sara pour son accueil et sa bienveillance!Gîte meublé et aménagé avec goût et attention au moindre petit détail. Un vrai cocon. Très bien situé à 5 mn à pieds du centre du village, avec un accès à la rivière à quelques mètres.Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, et nous n’hésiterons pas à y revenir lors d’un prochain séjour.
On a passé une très belle semaine. Maison très bien équipée , jardin très agréable à côté de la rivière et au calme . À proximité des commerces dans un village vivant. Le gîte est indépendant et Sarah est à la fois très disponible et discrète. On recommande !!
Beaucoup de découvertes intéressantes, de tous les genres : paysages magnifiques, châteaux magiques, restaurants sympathiques,musées surprenants...et bien d'autres choses...
Bon séjour. Logement calme près des commerces. Ville où nous avons pu voir la transhumance et celle-ci a un charme. Balade le long du lot juste à côté du gîte. Merci encore de votre accueil
Quatre jours de découvertes géologiques, botaniques, architecturales, avec le plaisir de revenir des escapades dans ce charmant gîte au bord de la rivière. Sa situation géographique le met à la croisée de tous les chemins, le choix est vaste il n’y a jamais loin à aller pour satisfaire sa curiosité. Que dire de notre hôtesse Sara, prête à faire aimer sa région ..merci à elle pour son accueil et sa disponibilité. BCC.
Nous avons passé 15 jours dans le logement de Sarah ! C'était très agréable. L'emplacement est idéal à deux pas du Lot. Nous entendons la rivière puis le logement. Nous nous sommes deplacés en vélo pour toutes nos sorties à proximité ! . Nous recommandons ce logement pour vos séjours dans l'Aveyron.
Das Apartment ist ein idealer Ausganspunkt in St. Geniez, um den Aveyron zu erkunden. Die Ferienwohnung ist liebevoll gestaltet. Als passionierte Hobby-Köche haben wir nichts vermißt. Der grüne Aussenbereich ist ruhig und bewahrt genügend Intimität, obwohl das Grundstück im Dorf liegt. Kontakt zu Vermieterin und Vermieter sehr, sehr angenehm. Auch unserer großer französischer Schäferhund hat sich sehr wohlgefühlt. Sehr empfehlenswert.
El apartamento es un lugar iedeal para descubrir el Aveyron desde St. Geniez. El interior estä equipado con mucho cariño. Como cocineros apasionados ne hemos echo de menos nada en la cocina. La zona verde exterior garantiza tranquiilidad y intimidad a pesar que está ubicado dentro del pueblo. El contacto con los duenos era muy, muy agradable. Incluso nuestro perro grande tipo pastor frances estaba muy contento. Más que recomendable..
Nous avons passé un séjour très reposant chez Sarah. La proximité de la rivière, l'accès au village par les quais et les nombreuses balades autour de Saint Geniez. Merci pour le bon plan Aligot dans le buron de la Truque, inoubliable !
Appartement bien situé, bien équipé, hôtes disponibles et agréables, place de parking, calme, accès à pieds à la rivière et aux commerces, restaurants. Joli village.
Super vacances dans cette petite maison indépendante. Supers hotes. La maison se trouve à proximité de nombreuses ballades et visites touristiques.
Au top !!!
